A hospital in Minnesota was left in disbelief after a nine-year-old boy survived an accidental fall that sent an arrow through his brain and nearly out the back of his skull.
Abby Deterding recently told the Minneapolis news station KARE “it’s a miracle” that the freak mishap did not kill her son, Gus.
She said she told Gus he would be OK and they were just going to the hospital to get some stitches.
But, after getting home, Gus began vomiting, and his parents brought him back to the hospital, which took head scans of the boy.
Maslonka told the outlet that he had created a model meant to show the trajectory of the arrow that went into Gus’s head.
